Frequently Asked Questions
I need a door, where do I start?
A beautiful door is one of those subtle necessities that can make a big difference in your home's style. Be sure to pay attention to the overall size and feel of a room. A massive and ornate door may overwhelm tiny rooms, making them feel smaller instead of bigger.
The 3 basic steps to choosing a new door are:
- Measure your door size
- Choose the style of your door
- Choose the finish
It's good to do a little research to narrow down the type of door you'd like. Pop in to DOOR SPECS and pick up a few brochures or, a good place to start is the Renall Doors website. Renall Doors is one of our trusted suppliers and they have a great range of doors to scroll through.
How do I choose a door handle?
You'll find there are a lot of options when it comes to design and finish. You'll want to get your hands on handles as the 'feel' is very important, and personal. We install a huge range of door handles, from many suppliers, so pop into DOOR SPECS and take a look at our display boards. We'll be able to advise you of the door systems, and any complications or drawbacks.
Door handles can create a lasting impression when someone enters your home because everybody comes into contact with them. They can be as important to an interior as shoes are to an outfit.
What about glass?
If you want to introduce light without sacrificing warmth, or peace and quiet, a glass paneled door may be a good choice. DOOR SPECS offer many types of glass panels, including:
- Clear
- Obscure
- Tinted
- Patterned
- Safety glass (required in some instances by the building code)
- Leadlight glass
If you'd like something special, or personalised, we recommend Artrix Glass who can create glass panels for DOOR SPECS to install. A glazed door can be a real focal point in your home.
If you need help deciding we're happy to talk you through the options.
Do you hang Internal Doors?
